Lol at the above!! And please feel free to add me :) great job on your success so far!!

Plain water for me bc I love it and can't stand fake sweeteners :p But whatever gets people to drink water is good :)

Thanks :)

I do this. Not all the time, but I did it about a month ago for my birthday dinner and am doing it this week for family reunion which starts tonight and goes until Sunday. I doubt I have enough saved for all the yummy food and drinks, but I feel it'll help some :) I don't know if I'm fooling myself or not, but it makes me…

Fast food is so nasty!! But so easy and convenient Congratulations on figuring a way to stop eating it! It's a huge accomplishment to change your habits and take extra time to do what's good for you instead of just doing it the easy way!! Do u have any slow cooker recipes you want to share? :)

Sorry- missed this but I'm glad I'm not the only perverted one ;)

I was afraid to say something like this for fear of back lash, but yes! I totally agree you should offer some kind of sexual behavior as a reward just to get him to start and then maybe he'll end up liking it My husband will do just about anything for a BJ. Just saying...

Sending a friend request. I'm happy to motivate and always looking for more motivation to come my way :) I'm also wanting to keep the weight off this time and know this is a lifestyle not a temporary fix :)

This is a great site for motivation. You've already had a lot of great diet/exercise advice so I won't overwhelm you with more. One thing I might suggest is finding a picture of a dress you would like to wear to prom and put it up on your mirror to keep you motivated. Don't worry about looking like the model wearing the…

I think it helps to have fruits and veggies cut up for easy eating. A lot of times when I go for the junk food it's because I'm bored or super hungry and want something right away. By having the healthy stuff readily available it curbs my eating junk out of boredom or after I munch on that I'm no longer starving and can…

Sending a friend request. I have 2 pounds or so to go as well, but concentrating more on losing my love handles :)

Fantastic transformation!!! I can't believe your face photos are the same person! Keep up the great work!

First of all, I am sorry for your loss :( to have something like that happen at the start of yourvweightvliss journey would make it a million times more difficult. I am glad you're back and making an effort now! That is a great first step. Please don't say "I hope" you have to KNOW you can do this. It's a lifestyle change…

I am almost finished with a 5K trainer. I have one day left and ran 3.14 miles tonight at a 9.5 min/mile pace. Such an awesome feeling since I've always hated running lol. My work schedule varies so I don't have a set work out schedule but right now I aim to run 2x a week, do Jillian's ripped in 30 video 5x a week and go…

I started losing weight because we were going to Disneyland and I wanted to be able to wear shorts and be ok with having my picture taken. That was in March and there are SO many reasons why I continue eating better and exercising. I'm not done but I am close (2 lbs) to my goal weight and I have more confidence, feel…

I'm doing a different 5K program and am almost finished! Just two more runs and I will be running a 5K. My last run was 2.86 miles so I'm super close :) Just so you know, there is a couch to 5K group :)

I looked at your profile and looks like you only have about 10 lbs to lose. So, although it is POSSIBLE, it probably won't be easy- or healthy. Since you don't have much to lose, 2 lbs a week is pretty aggressive. A person that is more overweight will burn more calories in a day and therefore will have an easier time…

Bump to try later. Thanks !

Very inspiring!!

Welcome to MFP! I've been here for 125+ days and I absolutely love it :) I plan on sticking around for a long time to keep track of my diet and exercise. It's so motivating. I will send you a friend request.

bumping to follow :) Love your post!

That is AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing :)

Always younger. I'm 33 and people generally think 23-27 (depending on whether i have my kids with me) I was carded for an R rated movie at 31. I laughed so hard but he was serious. Oh, and I told some one I was getting a new dress for my birthday a few weeks ago and she said, "is it your 21st" I wanted to kiss her lol.

Born and raised in Bend, Oregon :)

Thank you!!

It's already been said, but I'm hoping the more you hear it the more likely you will be to listen: PLEASE, PLEASE get help immediately. I hope you will listen to the advice you have asked for :) Good luck.

Wow. Just wow. You're a true inspiration!! Thanks for sharing and congratulations!!!
